Si Kak Phraya Si
road intersection in Bangkok, Thailand
Si Kak Phraya Si (Thai: สี่กั๊กพระยาศรี, pronounced [sìː kák pʰrā.jāː sǐː]) is an intersection located in the Wang Burapha Phirom sub-district, Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok. It connects Charoen Krung, Fueang Nakhon, and Ban Mo roads. This intersection is considered the second along Charoen Krung Road, the first official street in Thailand, following nearby Saphan Mon (Mon Bridge).
The name "Si Kak Phraya Si" can be interpreted as "Phraya Si's intersection". The term derives from the Teochew words "角" (Kak), meaning "corner" or "angle," and "四" (Si), meaning "four", referring to a four-way intersection. Phraya Si (พระยาศรี) was a Mon nobleman who resided in this neighbourhood. He was an aristocrat and held a teak trade concession during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV). Phraya Si also led the construction of Charoen Krung Road and Saphan Mon Bridge.
Additionally, Soi Phraya Si (Phraya Si Alley) is named in his honour. This alley connects Fueang Nakhon and Atsadang roads to Saphan Hok (the Lifting Bridge), a pedestrian bridge over Khlong Khu Mueang Doem.
